Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Lay out four tortillas. Spoon half of the beef mixture evenly onto one half of each tortilla.
Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the beef mixture.
Fold the other half of the tortillas over the filling.
Brush the tops of the folded quesadillas with melted butter.
Wipe out the skillet and heat it over medium heat.
Carefully place two quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining two quesadillas.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with your favorite burger toppings like ketchup, mustard, pickles, or lettuce.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Ensure your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the cheese melts.
